The Metal Coat in Pokémon GO
The Metal Coat was added to Pokémon GO on February 16, 2017.
The Metal Coat is required to evolve certain Pokémon:
Level 10 and higher players can obtain the Metal Coat by searching PokéStops. While normally rare, from March 21, 2017 onward the player is always guaranteed to find an Evolution item when obtaining the bonus for searching a PokéStop for the seventh day in a row.
